Underpainting in Colored Pencil (Drawing Tulip Baskets)

[@sherylhutton138]

This is the first video I watched of you and I enjoyed just watching you color in an amazing swatch of tulips in a basket. I myself can't draw, but my mother paints in oils and is very good at it. My son is a very good drawer as well. He likes pencil the best. My mom when she was in high school drew Chuck Conners when he was on the riflemen, Bob Denver from Gilligan's Island, Tom Selleck of Magnum PI. She is now 82 years old and has slowed down on painting. Her apartment that she now rents is just filled with all kinds of designs of oils. She has even painted a few for me to hang in my house.

These are so gorgeous, I got them right away. Thank you!

[@norinemueller4588]

Just beautiful as always

[@mathstutorbiz]

Oh my how lovely, A quick dig into my husbands pay pall account, and I await the tulip baskets , its my 52nd wedding anniversary on the 12 April, hope I can do them justice. Never done anything on coloured card, so fingers crossed. I don't have prisma pencills, but have pollychromos hope they will be OK. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge , I miss teaching, as time has taken its toll , patch work was my love, but now colouring has taken over. Kind regards from England Marilyn Handley.

[@SandyAllnock1]

Happy anniversary! 52 years!!!!! And yes Polychromos will be just fine :)

[@yopestevens1505]

Well done! I listen to a ton of instructional videos, and want to say you have the most pleasant voice! Very clear, slightly lilting, and best of all, no ummmms :) I learned a lot, thank you.

[@SandyAllnock1]

Wow, thank you! I've been a Toastmaster for ten years, that's helped a ton :)

[@donnaherbignat9457]

So very pretty. I usually watercolor, but this is so gorgeous that I plan to try it. Thank you.

[@tynaheadrick-phipps6768]

I purchased the pdf tutorial yesterday🥰. Looking forward to trying this, likely no time this week🐇🐥💐🌷.

nice drawin

[@SandyAllnock1]

Thank you so much 😀

Beautiful!❤

[@MaryNewnham]

Hi Sandy. I do love color pencils but they seems to take more time to complete a project… but they are so fun to use

[@SandyAllnock1]

Yes they are! But worth it. Can’t get these results with other mediums.

[@puikingyip1472]

👍👍😍🤩

[@henm3818]

it's amazing! Wonderful❤. Is the paper you are using smooth or does it seems like pastelmat? I have fabercastel polychomos pencils, would it be possible to get the same effect as yours?

[@SandyAllnock1]

No it’s not like pastelmat; but the Stonehenge is lovely. Polychromos should do just great ❤️

[@norinemueller4588]

Just beautiful If I purchase these prints and they are PDF files that means I have to print on my inkjet printer which they would be black, I’m a bit confused or are you sending the physical papers with the prints on them sorry just want to be clear

[@SandyAllnock1]

The sketches are pretty light, so when you print the lines, they’re not really bold and you can cover them easily with pencil like I did.

[@Pebblesmas]

OMG the white colorings would be amazing too without the color!!

[@BiteSizedCrafter]

Heck yea! They look like thing I’ve seen people have as art on their walls. Hmm

[@renshaw5darlene1519]

I totally agree 🥰

[@paulinejohnstone2546]

it does look lovely with the white very much like parchment craft delicately beautiful 🩷

[@joycehabegger5492]

New to your channel. Did you sketch the drawing with pencil first or it is a transfer from a picture using transfer paper? I enjoyed watching.

[@SandyAllnock1]

One of them was drawn directly on the paper, the other two were from sketches that are in the PDF. ❤️ Welcome to the channel!

[@karenbarrett7208]

Are these watercolor pencils? Oil ?

[@SandyAllnock1]

Prismacolor

[@lucipaseyro5685]

Podrias poner subtitulos en español?

[@SandyAllnock1]

No hablo español, lo siento :( Tuve que googlear para encontrar lo que estabas preguntando.

[@elviamunguia8397]

I noticed that you changed your video format , im sorry but, I prefer the old mode.

[@SandyAllnock1]

I’m sorry you don’t enjoy it. My channel went flat for years while making cards, hardly 2 dozen subscribers a month. Now 600-800 are joining each month, so I’m going with this format so I can help more people with their art 😍

[@user-xd5so5qh7j]

I understand your point of view. However, have you abandoned card-making videos all together? I hope not. I always watched those videos - so, for people like us, who are not "artists" - the card making videos are the only videos of yours that we watch.

[@SandyAllnock1]

@@user-xd5so5qh7j you don’t speak for all cardmakers - plenty still watch my other videos because they all contain so much teaching in them that can be applied to any art project including cards. A lot of them are tackling bigger projects too-and I want to help people grow, not leave us all where we are. Tomorrow is a card video, I make them now when inspired to do so, rather than trying to sell everyone stamps every month that they don’t need.

[@elviamunguia8397]

Oh no, no! I didn’t mean to create all this mess! I’m so very sorry Sandy! I should have kept my big mouth shut! My apologies

[@SandyAllnock1]

@@elviamunguia8397 no worries- a lot of crafters have locked themselves into the “I’m not an artist“ mentality. The stamping industry teaches us that we can’t draw and we have to let somebody else do it *for* us. People have far more capacity to create than stamp companies give us credit for. and my mission is to help people find those skills within themselves instead of putting themselves down about their skills. 🥰

[@theresabautista7010]

Here I'm kicking myself for throwing away all those useless white pencils over the many years

[@SandyAllnock1]

Ahhh never toss art supplies 🤣

[@karenzemko6518]

This reminds me a bit of grisaille painting technique, which the old masters used. Love how it came out! Something to add to my to do/try list! TFS

[@dinacarroll9211]

Your art is amazing! I didn’t realize the white would go under as much of the areas that it did. I definitely learned something new today! Thank you so much!

[@SandyAllnock1]

Glad it was helpful!

My favorite tulip is any one the deer won't eat. Lol

Hello first time, the technique is amazing, the Tulip’s basket is gorgeous. I don’t know how to start and begins to learn with your creative ideas and projects. Wonderful technique. I saw your page and you advertise many classes and which one is best for beginners? Thank you for sharing your wonderful presentation 😊 You have a new subscriber!

[@luisellamicheli7694]

[@sheriwitthoft5895]

Did you use up one whole white pencil (or more)?

[@SandyAllnock1]

About one pencil for all 3. One was a bit of a nub to begin with 😂

[@rodakowski]

So inspiring! Love the subject. Makes a complex design like the woven basket look doable! I have all supplies used here, now all I have to do is try!

[@juliekraut7218]

These are spectacular. I’m lucky to live in the Pacific NW where we have April as tulip Festival time. I go every year and take hundred of photos. Inthink that I have every color and variety. So, if you need a photo of a specific one, I can email it to you. Happy Spring. 20:34

[@ladyflimflam]

I find colored pencils to be beyond tedious but it might be fun to try this with oil pastel. I’ll try white conte crayon for the underpainting. Yellow is the bestest color. Don’t ask how many different yellow watercolor tubes I have-I don’t have every PY available so it clearly isn’t enough. 🌼🌻🍋💛💛💛

You look like you color with reasonable pressure using the colorpencils, is that so?

[@SandyAllnock1]

Depends on how think I want the color.

[@Top2tow]

I always love to see your work! You are my inspiration!❤

[@peggyjanovick]

Sandy, thank you for this tutorial on colored paper. I have seen videos of artists using black paper and felt inspired but I haven't tried it yet. I may have to take baby steps and try these tones first. I love tulips and I have to say the one on green is my favorite 😍 💕 ❤️

Hello, Sandy. Very pretty art. Why do you call this style underpainting when there is no paint involved?

[@SandyAllnock1]

Professional pencil artists use the term all the time.

[@donnadoble-brown338]

Sandy are you in WA? My SIL is from Maple Valley and he and my daughter used to live in Everett when they were first married. They would take a ride every year to see those tulips! I would be so jealous . . . Lol Just a stunning place. Which “white” colored pencil are you using in this video . . . Love this idea💚

[@SandyAllnock1]

Yes in WA. Likely any white pencil could work. ❤️
